Tick ‘Remember selected cheats’ because PJ64 needs gameshark cheat codes to run properly.

Here is where you setup your controller binds.
For xbox controller users:
* In ‘Controller Pak’, untick ‘RawData’, and in the drop down menu, select ‘MemPak’.
* Tick ‘XInput’, and your binds menu will look like this:
The ‘XControls’ correspond to the buttons on your controller, and ‘N64’ is what they will be bound to in-game.

For keyboard users-
* I recommend setting Analogue stick range to 100%, and in ‘Devices’, set ‘Gamepad Deadzone’ to 5%.
* These settings will make it easier to aim.
For users of any other controller-
* My only recommendation is to check out the multitude of other guides on the Internet.
If you want to use a mouse, for some reason, tick ‘N64 Mouse’.
ADDITIONAL HOTKEYS:
Toggle limit fps (fast forward): f4
Toggle pause: f2
Save State: f5
Load State: f7
Important: Managing your Save data!
Old versions of Project64
Old versions of Project64 use the same `.sra` file for all OoT ROMS, regardless of if they're randomised or not. If you've loaded a vanilla ROM before loading a randomized ROM, then you must first delete `THE LEGEND OF ZELDA.sra` in `C:\Program FIles\Project64\Save`. Failure to do so will result in numerous gameplay bugs.
If you do not load a vanilla ROM before loading a randomized ROM, you can just delete the save files in-game.
